    Description

    We live rurally in Switzerland’s beautiful Three Lakes Region. From our home, you’ll not only be surrounded by green fields but also get to admire the Alps in the distance. Our small, non-profit hobby farm is home to four cuddly goats, some poultry, and four Shelties. We’d love to welcome one person at a time for free accommodation in exchange for 4–6 hours of light help per week.
